Hello there,

Just wanted to say Hi to all the SEN Parents out there. Just received an email from Rob about the site and have popped in to say hello.

Lovely site guys, very nice design. Well Done. I wish you every success with it.

Whilst I am here, would just like to say that if any of you have children with Semantic Pragmatic Disorder or Autistic Spectrum Social Communication problems, you may like to visit SPD Support for further information and support.

Best Wishes to you all and Good Luck with the site.

hi there. i also have a 2 year old daughter with a VSD like witchy poo daughter. I also have a 3 year old daughter who had open heart surgery last year coz she had an ASD that was a very bad time we had to travel to liverpool alder hey hospital for her surgery. We only found out about her heart a week before she had her surgery i had took her to the docs coz she kept fainting and the hospital had said there was nothing wrong the doc checked her chest and said she had a slight heart mumur but told me not to worry she telephone the heart specialist and asked for an appointment which o thought was strang as they always sent appointments through the post for my mum we went to see him the next day.we went to see mr stevens the heart specialist and was told that it was a very large whole and he was very worried and he had not come across this sort of mumur in 17 yrs and was sent straight for a echo scan and ECG on her heart the echo scan shown that it was a very large whole and was straight through the middle of the 2 top chambers of her heart and was affecting her left lung which was already 2 the size it was ment to be and if she didnt have surgery soon then she might not last the year. i didnt know what had gone wrong from having a 2 yr old little girl who i thought was fine the wk before to having a very poorly little girl who had never really been well that wk it was heart breaking. she was taken in to hospital 2 days after and went through her open heart surgery she was very very brave bless her and is doing very well now. When we got back from alder hey i was talking to my OH and said i was worried incase our other daughter had anything wrong with her heart so he told me to get her checked for my peace of mind so i did and was told she also had a murmur we have now found out this is a VSD which she has got to have regular check ups for. i was pregnant again when i found out what was wrong with my other 2 girls and had to have scans on her heart when i was pregnant but luckly she is fine x
